 |
|
I emerged Zapping and I started it but I get this error:
| Code: |
Couldn't open /dev/video0, try other devices? YES
Sorry, but "/dev/video0" could not be opened:
[tveng.c] tveng_attach_device (line 300)
check() failed: The device cannot be attached to any controller
|
I have a WayJet TV tuner. lspci shows it as:
| Code: |
0000:00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
0000:00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)
|
and lshal returns this:

I'm using udev and the other Project Utopia stuff.
How do I get it to work with Zapping ?

Ok, since apparently there are no gurus around ... I made some investigations myself. Maybe I forgot to enable certain drivers in the kernel ... not sure, I'll check soon.
Anyway in Windows, the setup CD installs 4 drivers for the tuner card:
BtCap, WDM Audio Capture
BtCap, WDM Video Capture
BtTuner, Philips WDM TV tuner
BtXBar, WDM Crossbar |

Ok, thank you very much for the support you offered in resolving this problem. It was crucial.
I recompiled the kernel, included all the bttv stuff and now I have video0 and the rest of the stuff needed, but there is another problem. Zapping can't find any channels. WTF ? |

Hi. I'm not a Guru, but I'll try to help 
You say that You compiled driver in Your kernel but did You configure it? You have to pass "card" and "tuner" parameters to the bttv module otherwise You'll have a /dev/video device but it will not work.
Check out this article: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_saa7134
It's about different driver but the main rule is the same. Read section about "card and tuner". You have list of cards and tuners in Your /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux directory.
I'll be watching this thread. If You still have trouble please write about it and I'll do my best to help You. |
